The contamination of allografts in multi-organ donors: a bone bank experience.
Article in Cell and tissue banking, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
As a consequence of the preference for homologous tissues, bone banks are the primary source of bone and tendon grafts. However, the bacterial, viral, and fungal contamination of these grafts remains a considerable challenge in bone banks and often results in high rates of graft discarding and infections in patients. This study intended to investigate bacterial contamination in 509 bone grafts harvested from 110 multiorgan donors. Specimen collection included bone and soft tissue retrieved from culture-swabbing as well as bone and capsule for histopathology. Microbiological, histopathological, and radiographic analyses were carried out. Secondary sterilization was also conducted using cobalt 60 at the dose of 2.5 × 10
